The Twilight Days of Hellawood
The lovely folks over at Space 15 Twenty put together this photo shoot to celebrate the last week of Hellawood and capture some of the awesome surf looks available in the shop. Stop by the Hellawood closing party this Friday from 7-10pm, and consider this week like that last long week of summer, when the water's still warm, but the air is cool and you know school is right around the corner. Yes, it is just that sad...

Toni May
Toni May has the boho rock, wood, and leather jewelry thing all wound up. And feathers! Rock, wood, leather and feathers. Great combo. Fittingly the creations (by Sydney lady Laura Byrne) are called things like 'Flame' cuff, 'Fire on the Ocean' bracelet and 'Fly With Me' cuff. We might just do that.-Nadia

Kelvina-Jo Smith
Sydney artist Kelvina-Jo Smith works with oh-so-soft wools, supple leathers, and wood to create eco-conscious wearable artworks. Imagine breezing 'round the house on a Sunday in one of these things? Beautiful. You can see her work at Poepke. -Nadia

Carly Hunter AW12
I'm so in love with this faux shearling gilet from Carly Hunter for AW12. The white and contrast of black inside go perfectly together and we all know just how good this will look paired under or over your favorite old worn in leather jacket. The best addition to your closet you could possibly make this year! X - Jen

Weathered
INCU has done a darn clever thing and created a ladies label to match the very down-to-earth and wearable men's brand—Weathered. Picnic shorts, chinos, blazers and tank dresses are where it's at for the Weathered gal. Sounds like a gal we'd like to know.-Nadia

Therese Rawsthorne AW12 "Welcome To The Overlook Hotel"
Beyond obsessed with the AW12 "Welcome To The Overlook Hotel" collection from Therese Rawsthorne. Just one look at this beautiful lurex dress and hot-as-hell leather blouse and I was sold, but it just gets better with every piece. I am hooked on Rawsthorne! X - Jen

Seb Brown
The pieces in Seb Brown's jewelry collection are beautiful enough that they could be worn alone, yet simple enough that you could wear them all together. What makes them even more special is that every piece is hand made, causing each one to be a little bit different than the last. See more here!

Rachel Rodwell fabric
Australian designer Rachel Rodwell has found an unexpected source for recycled textiles: used Nespresso pods. Inspired by the creative and colorful junk repurposing she spotted on a trip to India, Rodwell spent months collecting, cleaning, and smashing the pods, which she painstakingly arranges and attaches together by hand. The results—which will be used in a clothing line she’s developing—have a whiff of mod glam to them, à la vintage Paco Rabanne. –Eviana

Treadlie
Treadlie is a fairly new cycling publication (it's in its 6th issue) that focuses on the lifestyle of cycling as appose to the sweaty and expensive world of racing as so many other publications do. Though the magazine comes from Australia, it was easy to find at a nearby major bookshop for perusal. I suggest seeking it out! -Bob

Friend of Mine T&B Tee
No big deal but I think Friend of Mine are going to completely sell out of their new Titties & Beer tee in a matter of days. Lucky for you, there are a few variants to keep this in stock a little longer because who doesn't want this killer, Frank Zappa-inspired, top? X - Jen
